Magenta [ DEMO ]
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
the demo game file is currently hidden, you cannot play it rn; though, the special episode "Awaken" is available - BUT, it's NOT the Magenta game. be careful about downloading "Awaken" and mistaking it for "Magenta"
a 'soft yandere' game
please lower your volume before starting playing ... I'm not sure if the default volume is loud or not
warnings:
DEMO: bright colors; a smoking character!; some uncomfortable but small and hardly noticeable yandere stuff (in demo); some brief intimate moments (not sexual); bad words;
FULL GAME (can be updated): bright colors; disturbing images (eye contact, syringes); smoking, alcohol; attempt of drugging; swearing; blood and violence; cults/sects + local world's religion topics; horror elements; mentioning of (as wel as sexual) slavery, brainwashing (aren't related to the main character and love interest); panic attacks, mental health problems; sexual content; bullying topics; yandere, yangire etc. topics and related things (stalking, obsession etc)
story:
a few years ago, you illegally created an android with the help of underground scientists. since then, this android, Zu, has become the most important part of your life - he is always by your side. it seems that constant closeness has had some consequences.
IN DEMO:
the main objective of the demo is to familiarize the player with the main characters. yandere elements are not yet fully manifested, but they can be traced in small details, gestures, words and events
- the main character goes by they/them
- you can choose any name you want!
- the game already has some CGs , you can have an idea of what to expect in the future.
this is my first game, so it may look a bit silly, but I really enjoyed creating it! It was created specifically for the "Stained Red; A Yandere Game Jam", and I was a bit short on time, so I'm only posting a demo version for now.

Because I really, really like your game, I signed up for an account in order to leave a review! The art style is very eye-catching and the script is very intriguing, especially looking forward to the full version, I've got my wallet ready! Thank you very much!

tiller is my goat
Love the game and watched so many playthroughs of it but wanted to ask if you ever plan to make it playable on Android as well. Keep up the good work ✊️
omg so excited for this but i have a smalllll question, in the future will you add more pronouns?
I absolutely LOVED the Magenta demo! Zu and all the other characters are so well written and loveable! I’ve been thinking about them ever since I played it. Every detail from the story to the art and atmosphere was so captivating and it left such a strong impression on me. I played the demo a little while ago and ever since I’ve been going back and forth about whether or not to leave a comment. I eventually decided to, mainly because I want to ask something plus I genuinely loved this experience. I really want to express my gratitude for all the effort that clearly went into it.
GETTING TO THE POINT!! Will the full game be free, or will it have a cost? I tried to check through the comments to see if anyone else had already asked this but I didn’t see anything about it, unless I missed it which it definitely my fault. I know it might seem like an unnecessary thing to ask, but i'm itching to know!
PS : I just want to take a moment to express how truly grateful I am for this game and the experience it provided. It’s clear that so much love, effort, and creativity went into every aspect of it. the characters, the story, the art, they were all so breathtaking. Playing the demo felt like stepping into another world, one that stayed with me long after I finished it. It’s rare to find something that resonates so deeply and this game managed to do just that even if it was just a demo! I love it so so much, I don't say this enough. fun fact : it's my favourite game of all time!!
Thank you for creating something so special and for sharing it with all of us. take care and stay safe everyone!!
Looooveeeed it!! I did feel the transitions were a bit too sudden, when moving scenes, but aghh why was this soo gooooodd?? Their relationships felt so genuine and heartfelt. The physical closeness, like hugs, hand-holding, and cuddles, really added to the warmth and intimacy of the story. It was beautifully touching how connected they were, both emotionally and physically. SO SWEEET!!! since this moment, I'll be your #1 fan!!! this was so cuteee!! I'll be patiently waiting for any new updates!! Your game literally made my day!! ^^ TYSM
I'm looking forward to the full game! I really enjoyed the art and it leaves off in such an intriguing spot. This is a cool world you've built!
i love this,keep working hard!!!
i just want to make a small reminder that we have a ton of lore info in my tumblr page (you can see it here, in the game page higher) ^_^ as well as news and other funny things
I absolutely love the character designs and color contrast, Zu is adorable and his design is so unique with the fact that parts of him glows to reflect his emotions. I can't wait to find out more about the other characters like Tiller. Besides Zu, Tiller is my favorite character based off design and how much personality he gives off from just a few scenes. I would love to learn more about Matilda and Tiller's story since the daughter-father dynamic is absolutely beautiful. I'd love to know if there's any ways I can see updates on the game or art besides Itch.io. Your game is truly refreshing for me, the story seems to have so much more depth and I can't wait to play the full version!! Please do continue making more games, I can tell your creativity within story-making seems to be well-thought out and extraordinary!!! (⌒∇⌒)ノ"
Edit : Just a quick sketch of these characters! I don’t usually draw animals so it was something new for me.
The character designs? The colors? Everything is just so unique! I love all of them already, especially Zu, of course. His expressions are so weirdly appealing. I can't wait to see more of him. (I love it when he squints his eyes—such a cutie.)
hewwooo! first of all, I want to say that it is visually incomparable! also, can I translate this demo into Russian? please :>
thank you!!!!!!!! ^_^ of course, just send me the link once you publish it
happy Halloween friends!!!!!!!!!
go trick or treat your neighbors!!! you're all amazing, kisses kisses kisses
I LOVE ITTT!! I CANT WAIT FOR THE FULL GAME OMGG
I LOVE THIS SO MUCHHHH ZUZU IS SO CUTE! i started playing because the artstyle was so unique and bright, but wow. i really fell in love with zu, such a calm and quietly affectionate character.
HE CAN
P U R Rreally can't wait for the full game aaaa
Love this so muchh!! Can't wait for full game!!
This is just the demo and I love it already!! ><
Zu is very cute and sincere even though he seems a bit suspicious, but I can say I'd like to have an android like him. Can't wait for the full version of this game, thanks for making such a great game ^^
(can someone please tell me where are people from twitter (x) coming from, is there a post or what)a mystery indeed ... . ..
zu is so cute! can I try to translate the demo of this game into Chinese and share it on the Chinese website? My English is not very good, but this will be the first game I want to try to translate. And wish the author good health, thank you for having such a good gameQAQ
are you sure you want to translate the early demo version? it's kinda small and awkward. but if you want, of course : ) do you need files or something ??
Thank you for your permission❤ (ɔˆз(ˆ⌣ˆc). At present, I am still learning how to translate renpy game, this is my first attempt to translate a game in Chinese haha. According to the tutorial, I only need the files in the demo,and I got it('◡')
I finished the translation! I put the video on the bilibili site(【自汉化|微病娇女性向】你创造的机器人似乎有些过于依恋你了——《Magenta》汉化发布+实况录制_单机游戏热门视频) and put the url of the game on itch in the blurb of the video.But because of my limited English, I probably didn't translate it very well (especially Tiller's part)😭.And because I'm not a famous uploader, the publicity is actually very limited. Sorry about that.😭
YAYYYYYY GOOD JOB!!!!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK! don't be sorry at all.
you must be proud of your progress, we all start with a limited skill, but soon, with practice, it'll become better. so I hope you'll keep translating other games as well, become even better and get the attention you deserve!
I'll check the video a bit later, I'm very curious! can I add this link to the game page? <3
Thank you for the encouragement! It means a lot to me and is really warm and sweet😭.I do still have a lot to learn.Of course you can add the link, it would be my pleasure!🥺The video I recorded may be a bit sketchy though, because my level of video production is also limited.😢So it's okay if you decide not to add it in the end.😊
added link to the game page! thank you again!!!
I'm very happy ^3^
the ARRTTTT
YESSS the art . the art makes us inspired
thank you for your comment!
amazing demo!! the art style & soundtrack create a very immersive atmosphere, and the cast are so fun, even the characters that aren't a focus?? really am fascinated by zu so far though,,, check it out if you have the time, finier definitely earned my follow ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و ♡ can't wait to see the full game!! (though obviously take all the time u need author, ur health comes first!!)
thank you a lot!!!!!!!!! I agree, you know, for those months of working I realised that the health is actually more important. and I hope everyone, every creator, player or any other person thinks about their health first. and you too, scrayp, don't forget to take care of your health first!
<3
heh wanted to share this bc i dont think ill finish the fanart but also i think ur game is neat and ur style is sooo cool and gritty
THANK YOU SO SOSOSOOFDOSSODFOSIFOSDJO SO MUCH AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARHGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH RAGRHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SORRY FOR THE LATE REPLY I LOVE IT SO MUCH CAN I PLEASE EAT YOUR ART???????????? PLEASE/
THIS IS SO SO SO!!!!!!!!!!!SO GOOD AND CUDDLY AND SOFT AND RRGRGHFR THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
<333333333333333333333333
omggmgmgmf!!! Ur all good and also it's safely made for your consumption lol ꉂ(ˊᗜˋ*)♡
But no THANK YOU for making something that I could brainrot on for a while... Made me realize that I like robots/androids more than I thought
This is only just the demo but i LOVED the character designs! Stumbling into characters that look the same in several visual novels gets a little repetitive... So Zu's and the rest of the character's designs were so refreshing for me to look at! i love his atypical appearance and personality ;) and the Story seems very promising as it seems to develop under a cyberpunk-ish ambience, the art was so beautiful too, can't wait to play the full version <33333
THANK YOUUUUUUU!!!! (damnnn I want to put small details in the designs that can tell about the character a bit :D it's not that noticeable in the demo I guess, but the current sprites that I'm making are a bit more detailed)
I'm glad to get such a big comment, thank you a lot! <3
I have been replaying the demo so much, I rarely ever comment on games but Author, you are doing such a good job ahhh!!! I love the concept and characters so much! The art has me mesmerized. I cannot wait for the full release :>
thank you a lot!!!!!!!!! <3 (I want to see the full release too, lol, it took more time than planned XD) <3
made an account to say i really really want to enjoy this bcs the artstyle looks so good and the plot is interesting but i'm neurodivergent & my brain won't cooperate with me, the font hurts my head so badly and i can't process or comprehend the words written on my screen no matter how hard i try T-T i hope it's possible to change the font for the next update...
thank you! the font will be changed, you'll see it in the full game once it's released, and I'll collect opinions about it! I'm not good with comprehending this font as well, even if I actually wasn't thinking about it while playing the demo before uploading it. I guess my mind just got used to the font in the program where I write the code, so it was just ... ignoring the game font and "generating" the needed words in my head automatically.
and I'm really sorry for that v.v!
AAAH TYSM! and it's okk, i was afraid that this would offend you but I'm glad that you're considering it;; bcs the game's visuals hooked me so badly and i don't wanna miss out bcs of my inability to read font T^T good luck on this awesome project! >o<
we have a tumblr page now yaaayy (the link is on the game page) i don't know why i created it but people were asking so yeaaaah
omg i need to make a new tumblr acc now then so i can check it out >o<!... cant remember my old password to it
I hope your acc creation went well!!! :D thank you for being interested in the game life
I'm glad to see you in the comments often
There's not much I can add to the previous comments, but I have to say I'm absolutely enamored with this game *-* And Zu is just the right amount of creepy and cute!
thank you! creepy Zu nation :D (can't blame him)
made an account just to comment since this game has been stuck on my mind for so long. amazing oh my god
i normally dont get so fixated on demos but ur style has completely captured me and is now one of my motivations to keep drawing and maybe create a game myself <3
cant wait for more to come as i am already in love with what we have rn. zu lives rent free in my head. AMAZING GAME!!!!!!!
THANK YOU A LOT AND WELCOME TO THE ITCH IO COMMUNITY!!! I will be really interested to play in your game if you decide to make it!!! please notify me if you create your game
i don't have enough cool material to make a full devlog post but i can just send some random pieces here ^_^
an old cg picture's part but still
the art is beautiful i love the lines and the texture, the use of colour too with the eyes RAHHHHH butterflies r swarming my stomach >u<⁉️
THANK UUUUU <3 <3 <3
would play it if there was a gender option :(
I'm working on that, I can totally agree with you, I prefer playing games with gender/pronouns options! so I'll try to make it happen. thank you for your comment!
omgg i love this game so much!! zu is so cute i think im going to draw him soon! im excited for the finished version its going to be so good <3 i love all of the characters too and the art style :3
